I would also suggest you pick a different directory to extract to. You
have placed Eclipse quite deep in your directory structure. You have
also extracted it to you internet temporary folder. This can get
cleared out if you run disk cleanup and completely wipe out your Eclipse
installation.

This is a Windows* OS/file system issue.The cause is the directory paths in the system is longer than 255 characters (including spaces).You may see the error "The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters," under the following circumstances:Opening an assembly with .NET Reflector
Exporting source code for an assembly using an add-in such as FileDisassembler, or FileGeneratorThere's a lot of additional softwares which can fix this problem like Long Path Tool.

Long Path Tool can simplify and probably end your problems in unlocking, managing and renaming files that appear to have a long filename. Since in some instances, you may have experienced problems accessing, managing and even renaming files that have
more than 255 characters, this utility has been made to answer this particular scenario. If you have also encountered problems like error messages that tell you
that the path too long, too long path, destination path too long or cannot delete file then this program is definitely for you. This will totally take place of
Windows Explorer, Far Manager or other file managing utilities since this is maybe used in any type of Operating System even the earliest Windows 95 version.

have you tried a software that fix your files? i mean its easy to create and rename files but it depends on how many files needed to be renamed. Ive been using long path tool since then i dont have problem with my files.
